Huntington, W. Va. –Hershel “Woody” Williams VA Medical Center will be hosting its first Car Show from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 14, 2024. Registration for those showing vehicles will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. and free dash plaques will be provided to the first 75 participants.
“The car show gives us another opportunity to connect with our veterans and community stakeholders to see many of the other programs and services we provide among the day’s festivities,” Equal Employment Opportunity Program Manager Denise Littlejohn said. “It’s going to be a great day with music, door prizes, trophies for the car show winners and so much more!”
Partnering with the Hershel “Woody” Williams VAMC is the Huntington Veterans Benefits Administration Regional Office where representatives will be on-site conducting a PACT Act claims clinic. Veterans interested in filing for PACT Act claims are encouraged to bring a copy of their DD-214 to help expedite the claim process.
Other programs and services that the medical center will be sharing via information tables will include PACT Act as it pertains to health care, Post 9/11 Military to VA transition program, Enrollment and Eligibility, and many others.
The car show will be broken down into several categories to include cars, trucks, and motorcycles with trophies presented in several categories. The show is open at all years, makes and models and anticipate a stellar turnout.
“Community outreach is one of our top priorities since we want to reach all veterans in our catchment area to make sure they can enroll for the benefits they’ve earned through their service to our nation. We especially want veterans to get signed up for PACT Act benefits and hope everyone, including those in the community who are not veterans, will stop by and meet us,” Littlejohn said.
